You will want to trim your milkweed early June in order to have tender food for Sept/Oct Monarch caterpillars. The image below depicts the cutting line for Common Milkweed.
I pinch the middle leaves of all milkweed varieties to promote growth throughout the season.
It also helps with aphid control if you pinch the early leaves when they first appear.
